Washington Commanders
Week 14 of the 2025/26 season kicks off with an NFC matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys have won their last three games, including against the Eagles and Chiefs the last two weeks. Dak Prescott has led the team as Dallas pushes for a playoff spot, and the division with Philly losing two in a row. The Lions have been a hot and cold team, and are coming off a home division loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving. They need this win to hold off teams like the Cowboys, but might not be able to...

The Washington Commanders held their second full practice of the week today. Jayden Daniels participated in his first full practice since dislocating his left elbow in Week 9. He has missed the last three games due to the injury, and will miss another if he’s not cleared to practice fully this week. Dan Quinn said he would “take it all the way to Friday” for a decision on whether he plays against the Vikings on Sunday. Daniels wasn’t cleared for contact, but he could still return this week.
Only two players didn’t practice today due to injury. DE Drake Jackson...

The Washington Commanders have announced they are activating DE Drake Jackson from injured reserve. He hasn’t played since 2023 when he suffered a patellar tendon injury while playing for the 49ers who drafted him in the 2nd round the year before. He had also been listed with a new groin injury since last Thursday. The Commanders opened his 21-day practice window to return from IR when the team was in Spain to play the Dolphins. Dan Quinn talked about him getting into football shape as he returns from an extended absence, and it looks like they’re ready for him to...

He took over play calling in Week 11, following four consecutive blowout losses, and has left open the possibility that he could remain both coach and coordinator in 2026.
“I’m finding a battle rhythm,” he said Monday. “… I haven’t discussed or gone down that road too far yet but yeah, I would say that’s a possibility.”
So what’s different this time around? He says his support group is bigger, and he’s relied on it more — both during the week...

There are seasons in the NFL when the tape becomes an indictment — an unflinching, unvarnished documentation of structural flaws, personnel gaps, and schematic imbalances that no amount of weekly optimism can gloss over.
For Washington, the 2025 campaign has been precisely that: a year where the defense, a unit built with the intent to be rugged and adaptable, instead dissolved under the weight of injuries, failed experiments, and a talent base stretched far too thin for a system that demands cohesion. Yet in the closing weeks — after head coach Dan Quinn reclaimed defensive play-calling duties from Joe Whitt...

The Washington Commanders held their first full practice of the week today. Dan Quinn gave injury updates before practice. Jayden Daniels isn’t cleared for contact, but will continue practicing as he works to return from a dislocated left elbow. He has missed the last three games due to the injury, and will miss another if he’s not cleared to practice fully this week.
Two players didn’t practice today due to injury, with another three getting their typical vet rest days. DE Drake Jackson is still on injured reserve for a patellar tendon injury that has kept him off the field...

Dan Quinn spoke to the media before the first full practice of the week. The Washington Commanders are preparing to travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings on Sunday.
Quinn was happy with the way the team fought in an overtime loss to the 10-2 Denver Broncos last week. They had a “next play” mindset, and the defense was improved. Quinn is back to calling plays on defense after taking over for Joe Whitt Jr. Quinn said last week’s practice was his favorite of the year.
Jayden Daniels is still not cleared for contact, but will be practicing with...

“What I can say is I can speak for every coach and player and just an unacceptable performance by us tonight,” Quinn said after their 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks four weeks ago.
This week, Quinn could stand up there and be proud of the performance he, his coaching staff, and his players put on against a Denver team with one of the toughest defenses in the league.
“I thought coming off the field, it just felt like those are the...

On Sunday night, the embattled Commanders took the 9-2 Denver Broncos down to the final wire in overtime. Dan Quinn went down swinging, with a two-point conversion attempt to win it after the final touchdown, rather than settling for a tie.
It was a valiant effort by a ragtag band of scrappy underdogs, with a roster cobbled together from backup injury replacements, mid-season street FA signees and starters returning from injury and suspension, and Dan Quinn taking over for his demoted defensive coordinator to make the calls on defense. The Commanders fought for every yard, down to the final whistle....
